This is one possible method:

$dt = new DateTime('2011-02-22 16:15:20', new DateTimeZone('America/New_York'));
echo $dt->format('r') . PHP_EOL;

$dt->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('America/Chicago'));
echo $dt->format('r') . PHP_EOL;

You can get a list of available time zones with:

print_r(DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers());

Central Time is always 1 hour earlier than Eastern Time. To convert Eastern Time to Central Time, subtract one from the value of Eastern Time.

Or use Zend_Date.
